Do you remember Occupy Wall Street? Occupy Wall Street was a contrived, made-up, artificially created protest group to counter the Tea Party. The Tea Party came into existence as far as anybody knows in 2010. The Tea Party, just average Americans fed up with fear and anger over what they saw happening to their country.<\/p>\n<p>The Tea Party originally was animated by the rapidly accruing debt and the oncoming Obamacare. The Tea Party was made up of people who were afraid of their kids\u2019 and grandkids\u2019 future, that the country was gonna go into such debt and that federal spending was gonna consume so much, that their tax rates would be so high that they would never have a chance to have a better life than their parents had had, which has always been part of the American dream.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_94678\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/WallStreetMIssouriPIX.jpg\" align=\"middle\"><br \/>\nSo the Tea Party was just a group of citizens. There was never any leader. There was never any particular candidate. It was people that had never been formally involved in politics before, showing up at Town Hall meetings. And because there was no leader and because there was no Washington tie, the official Washington establishment became petrified and paranoid, scared to death of the Tea Party.<\/p>\n<p>The left, which is totally consumed with PR and image and buzz because they have to avoid the substance of what their beliefs are, they cannot dare be honest about what they really believe. So they rely on substance and image, lies about their beliefs and their philosophies. Occupy Wall Street was an artificially created, made to look like another grassroots movement that had sprung up to defend Obama and Obamacare and the spending. Occupy Wall Street was specifically created by wealthy Democrats behind the scenes to make it look like it was genuine and spontaneous, as an answer to the Tea Party.<\/p>\n<p>Now, one of the animating features of Occupy Wall Street &#8212; and it\u2019s still around, by the way. It\u2019s dormant, but there\u2019s still people in it, still living in shantytowns and so forth. Occupy Wall Street is where Elizabeth Warren came from, essentially. Elizabeth Warren with the, &#8220;You didn\u2019t build that! You don\u2019t own that! You didn\u2019t make that happen! You factory owner, you business owner, you didn\u2019t make that happen. Why, if we hadn\u2019t all banded together to build the roads and put in your sewage system for you, you could have never become rich. So you didn\u2019t do it yourself. You didn\u2019t do it on your own. You didn\u2019t build that.&#8221; And Obama picked it up. Well that became the rallying cry of Occupy Wall Street. And if there was a seminal, or a central, foundational belief in Occupy Wall Street is that work is not how you got things, because even that deck was stacked.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_94697\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Obama-Elizabeth-Warren_large_large.jpg\" align=\"right\"><br \/>\nOccupy Wall Street was originally aimed at the 1% on Wall Street, rich bankers, investment bankers, investment people on Wall Street, all these various financial houses. And the Occupy Wall Street people basically attempted to convey that things, the stuff that you get in life does not come from work. That that\u2019s a fool\u2019s errand, and people who buy into the notion that you have to work to get your stuff are victims of a big con game. The 1% never worked. They have all the money and they share it only with themselves, and it\u2019s all a giant trick to get everybody toiling away for meager wages to benefit the already rich 1%.<\/p>\n<p>It was built on resentment of capitalism, anger at the unfairness of the distribution of resources and all of that crap. And therefore, any act of civil disobedience was justified because they were fighting injustice and unfairness and unequal distribution of resources in a rigged game. This was made to buttress Obama, and this is, I guess, I say where Elizabeth Warren sprang up, because the &#8220;you didn\u2019t build that, you didn\u2019t make that,&#8221; is directly traceable to the same kind of convoluted perverted thinking in Occupy Wall Street.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I think, using the Snerdley Doctrine, when it comes to explaining looters, I think looters have much the same kind of thought process. That stuff, things, houses, cars, what have you, that work is not gonna give you those things, \u2019cause it\u2019s stacked deck. If you engage in work, you\u2019re just working for the man. You\u2019re working for the 1%. You\u2019re toiling away to make him richer, but you ain\u2019t getting any of it. You aren\u2019t seeing any of it. And, indeed, social justice pretty much teaches this exact thing. And, therefore, social justice tells people who don\u2019t have things that they are entitled to take whatever the hell they want when they can and when they want it because they are entitled to it, because it\u2019s being purposely denied them.<\/p>\n<p>So when an opportunity springs up, such as the unfortunate shooting in St. Louis &#8212; or when your sports team wins, whatever it is &#8212; you make a beeline, because it\u2019s all about justice. It\u2019s all about getting even. It\u2019s all about finally being able to grab some of what people are not letting you have. This is the belief system &#8212; and, by the way, this is not just Occupy Wall Street.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_94698\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaQuoteAmericanBusiness.jpg\" align=\"middle\"><br \/>\nThis is pretty much the left in general, and the reason for their anti-capitalist stance. It\u2019s rigged, it\u2019s unfair, and all this labor (i.e., their jobs) doesn\u2019t get them anything. It doesn\u2019t get \u2019em health care, it doesn\u2019t get \u2019em a TV set, doesn\u2019t get \u2019em whatever. It gets all that for the boss. The boss and the owner. That\u2019s the guy that gets rich, and he\u2019s out playing golf every day or having three-martini lunches or whatever. He\u2019s not working. Ho-ho no!<\/p>\n<p>He didn\u2019t build his business on his own, either. That\u2019s the latest scam to be revealed. No, no, no. He didn\u2019t build that! The same duped laborers, who toil away for embarrassingly low wages, made the business owner\u2019s business. They built it. They made it possible. Yeah, and some of these Occupy people actually believe, &#8220;What do you mean, go to college? I go to college, I go into debt, and my first job is at McDonald\u2019s?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What a rigged game! You mean I\u2019m not gonna get 80 grand out of college? You mean I\u2019m not gonna be living in Shaker Heights right out of college? I\u2019m not gonna be living in Pacific Heights right out of college? I can\u2019t move to the Upper East Side right out of college? I\u2019m not gonna have a house in the Hamptons right out of college? Well, what a rigged game!&#8221; So it\u2019s this entitlement to stuff that is purposely being denied.<\/p>\n<p>Right there is the soft bigotry of low expectations and how successful it has been. They look around and they see all the evidence that they\u2019re wrong. There are success stories all of this country. People started with nothing and have however they define success. It\u2019s all around \u2019em. But yet they don\u2019t want to get rid of that victim status. It\u2019s just too comforting, and it explains their failure as being somebody else\u2019s fault, not their own.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the politics of all this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: In regards to the looting in Ferguson, Missouri, or the looting in any circumstance like this and the politics of it.
